Masoud Pezeshkian, at the UN climate change meeting in Antalya, Turkey, referring to attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran, said: “The environment is the silent victim of wars. The aggression of the United States and Israel, along with its extensive economic and humanitarian dimensions, has caused serious damage to the environment.”

He added: “No power has the right, in the name of security, to put the foundations of life on Earth in danger.”
